Ask Dugan. Sure he knows places.

 

[Bazal]

I want good tattoos, though....

 

[kia ora storm]

A friend of a friend is doing it. In Nunawading. I'll let you know if they're any good. There's one on Swan street up from Richmond station near Curry Muncher/Corner Hotel, they have a good rep too.

Do you know the name of the place ?...I live close to there and get mine done in that area.

 

[Dani]

Dynamic.

Chapel tattoos are supposed to be awesome too

 

[Eelementary]

Not brave. Just have no one else to talk to.

I think it's very brave - whether it is telling someone in person or telling a whole bunch of faceless people (most of whom wouldn't be able to help you out very much, unfortunately, but would want to do so if possible) on the internet, making the choice to tell someone is a very brave step.

It seems there's a quite a few of us current or former wrecks on here.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Most everyone experiences some pretty shitty lows in life. Its just that not many people talk about the crap times often

 

[Dragon2010]

I'm not going to brag, but I've had many lows, long term lows and nothing seems to want to get better. I'm pretty much a wreck at the moment and have been for a while.

Ah, The "joys" of life.

Doesn't seem like bragging at all - but you should seek help. If things are that bad, you need some guidance, my friend, and as much as we are all happy and much obliged to listen and give you our advice, it seems that professional advice might be best for your needs.

And don't give up. Don't ever give up. Life can suck at times, and then it can turn around and amaze you. Without the lows, we cannot truly appreciate the highs. Trust me - I've been there, as I am sure most other people have. Hit rock bottom, and then bounced back up - and it was so much sweeter knowing I stuck in there. Do the same, mate. Chin up.

Could be worse mate...imagine if you were a Cronulla supporter !

I shudder at the thought! Do we play them at kogi this year?

 

[IanG]

Yeah we all have those moments. I often wish my house would burn down so I could make a fresh start. That plus wish I could just piss off somewhere and never come back.

 

[Hallatia]

you can do that without your house burning down.

 

[9701]

If my children/Grandchildren weren't around I am pretty sure I would either just leave and land wherever I end up or just volunteer to go back to a warzone and become reckless and hope that someone ends it for me.

 

[IanG]

Yeah but I wouldn't need to move all my junk. As it is I'm trying to get rid of most of. When your from a family of horders and you have to help a family member move who has amassed 40 years worth it makes you want to go minimalist. Probalem is when you have a massive clean out you end up making a bigger mess. My house seems to be like teh black hole of Calcutta

 

[Hallatia]

sell it all on gumtree/ebay

dude, seriously? I really hope you dont think that otherwise you really need to go talk with someone

My older brother suicided when I was 15 since then I have never truly been happy. I cherish time with my children and grand children but once I am alone again I go back to seeing no point in it, I think that's why I was a decent soldier I didn't care where I went or what I did.

I wont ever take my own life I know how much that hurt my family when my brother did it.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Im sorry to hear that mate

I genuinely hope you go talk to someone about how you feel though, even if its just a mate or a family member. Its natural to feel like there is no point to your life at times but Im sure the people closest to you feel differently.
